denelson83 actually yes a resident is considered a doctor. They have graduated medical school and gone through internship and are allowed to practice medicine just technically considered in training that can last anywhere from a couple years to 7+ years depending on the specialty.
@Teddy James Oh wow!!I think what amazes me is that she isnt getting a continuous 5-6 hours of sleep because she keeps getting woken up in between with the calls. She only gets time for like "power" naps.
As you get older you typically only need about 6-7 hours of sleep and she probably does get good sleep at home before her shifts but also once you work a job like that for years your body gets used to that specific amount of rest. Shes probably just used to it by now. Also what you eat and drink factor in how you'll feel throughout the day as well.
You are so kind when you answer pages! Im an ER nurse and so many times MDs call back and don't even present themselves on the phone and then they act annoyed as if it's a massive intrusion to them that I am doing my job. Please never stop being kind like that because it makes such a difference.
Be kind to nurses and they'll do a better job. It's just human. You want to feel like you're doing good. And when the doctor is positive after like 2hours of sleep, so isn't the nurses and positivity makes for better work ethic and stamina. I wish every doctor was kind to nurses. They're the back bone of the hospital. Without them a hospital wouldn't get very far. Thank you for doing the job that you do!! ❤
Lorelai B it’s my interest also I’ve always tried to work in the medical field like administrator but suddenly I became a patient since 2015 with Lupus SLE and Fibromyalgia and now also a herniated disk in my back
Gotta say, it's better then knowing all the medical terminology due to spending months (in this very same hospital shes at), with a critically ill daughter in a coma, on life support. I certainly was well versed in medical terms after that lol
Passion and salary both help in different ways, and if you make a million a month or even a million every two hours, it actually had the effect flattened quite a bit before and really you need passion to get performance, once you have enough money.
You should do a “what I do when I get off a long shift routine” so we see where you go after! I’m guessing to sleep but it would still be cool to see your routine ☺️
Nothing wrong with complaining abt the hot room, dear! You are on a 26 hours call shift. That's really taxing and you're doing important life saving work. The least the hospital can do to help you and the patients is to give you a decent room to rest in whatever little pocket of time you can find. Hope your hospital fix the temperature issue of the affected rooms soon.. As usual, enjoyed your vids! I'm always feeling motivated after watching your vids.
Yeah, at least put in a request (or have someone put in the request) to the facilities folks and maybe they will get around to fixing it. Then again, she is legit so busy I could see her leaving it till another time to report it, or just not put one more thing on her plate.
I don't think you should be embarrassed about wanting a good call room. I mean, you do need to sleep to be able to safely, properly and confidently treat patients. This means you are entitled to have an environment where this proper sleep is ensured. Side note - to me those conditions would be a normal working day length, but you gotta make the best of what you got I suppose.
@@yara30942 It's not about it being healthy but being able to focus. If you stay awake that long you can focus as well as after having had a lot of drinks. In fact, you get all other symptoms as well, like aggression. You HAVE to have at least naps between.
A 24 hour call shift doesn't usually mean that you work for 24 hours. It means that you are on site, on call for 24 hours. Most hospitals have small rooms where the on-call doctors can get some rest during their shift. It's not common that you would be up for 24 hours working continuously (but it's possible).
Sad really, that someone’s pain would make anyone mad. Even Tylenol has to have a dr’s order, the nurses can’t order medicine themselves, so when your patient can’t sleep because they’re hurting, you call to ask for a Tylenol order.
The constant waking up and short bouts of sleep would literally be like torture. This surely has to have a significant impact on your ability to solve complex medical problems.
The sleep interruptions are not that bad, not knowing when I can sleep again is way worse. I am usually even happy when someone called me for something minor.
My dad suffered a massive heart attack several months ago and if it wouldn’t have been for the incredible nurses/doctors who took care of him , he wouldn’t be here today. Thank you, all of you, for the years of studying, sleepless nights, and never ending work that you put into to help the general public 💕
Yes they were doing there job nurses care for people plumbers fix people's plumbing women care for others people's children's in creches.Mechanics fix peoples cars and so on
Hope your patients with heart failure, pneumonia and cacer e.c.t are doing well and their families too. Suprised how positive you can be under minimal sleep.
Okay but like as a nurse we NEVER bother the MD with a call to order acetaminophen...... it should always be a standing order. You do not wanna wake up an MD for some Tylenol... I’d be too afraid!
But if the patient has liver failure... throwing acetaminophen at them would not work out so well. You would want the MD to sign off on the LFTs before re-administering acetaminophen. Since we don't know the patient, it's whatever.
If the patient has a fever or pain, and the doctor over looked doing a PRN order, they are getting bothered. Guess what, they won't do it again!! It's about the patient, not the doctor's ability to sleep! What is you other suggestion, just let the patient suffer?
Being woken up for much stupider stuff then acetaminophen is fairly common. Also at night you are normally covering multiple wards that you don't cover in the day, so if any PRN medications were overlooked it probably wasn't your fault.
I have to admit that before knowing you, America Revere, Dr Mike, etc I had little faith in young doctors. I always wanted the super experienced one. Thanks to you all, I have learned that young doctors can be more passionate and motivated than older ones in helping their patients and solving mysterious diagnoses. What I have also learned (at my own expense) is that often older doctors don't like to change their way of treating their patients, although there might new, better methods available. I am very grateful for doctors like you, who have chosen this career for the good reasons.
It’s not impossible but privacy concerns over patients medical history and showing something that may be embarrassing to the patient comes to the forefront. Where I live we have a teaching hospital as well and when I go in for checkups and so on for my heart(I had a heart attack 5 yrs ago) I openly encourage the Dr. In charge to have the residents come and poke and prod me because it’s not often they get a willing patient

Wow! 26 hours of work straight and ALWAYS kind, calm, and saving others' lives, with a smile on her face. She must be a Canadian. Keep up the good work!
Thank you queen, suffering through hot rooms and broken sleeps, just to save others...that is more than most can say... you're an angel💓 Edit I broke down when I saw the ICU scene... thinking that nurses saw my mother dying and knew she would pass and just walked away and went back to their rooms...so terrifying but so necessary. May God keep her soul close.
I called my first code blue of my Radiation Therapy career the other day. It’s crazy how quickly auto piolit kicks in and you begin to save someone’s life or comfort them in their last moments.
I don't understand how one can expect to save someone else's life, like a CODE Blue, when they are on a 26 hours shift and have very little sleep. If I ever get rush to the hospital, I hope the doctor saving me had some sleep.
Jupe367 or you can just hope you never get rushed to the hospital. Also there’s a team of doctors and nurses so it’s not like it’s just one doctor trying to figure anything out, they all have each other to lean on. And in situation like that they’re probably functioning probably quite decently due to a rush of adrenaline
There’s a collection of other staff; nurses, doctors and RTs that are also there and everyone is helping out to make sure nothing is missed. Plus the adrenaline takes over from any tiredness!
As a former RN trust me when you hear the "CODE BLUE" your brain is instantly awake. And you aren't alone. There are doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and in my hospital lab techs all involved in every code blue.
Like she said, there’s other people in the room besides her (in this case, at least 20, I think she said), so I’m sure everyone is collaborating and talking to each other about what the course of action should be.
That first case reminded me so much of my Dad. He died last December from end stage liver failure. He never told us he was getting sick, so by the time he went to get help, it was too late. He never had time for a transplant. Hope your patient does better. ❤️
You really motivate me to become a doctor. I'm in last year of high school and I've been going back and forth from choosing medical college or physiotherapy college. Your energy really makes me choose to go for doctor because you seem so successful, cheerful and full of life! Thank you beautiful ❤
I know how hard it is being a doctor in Canada. I am from Brazil and I am living in Canada And I struggled a lot in the hospitals to be seen by a doctor. Seeing your video makes me realize how important your guys work is. Keep up! Don’t give up. We as a society are desperate for help. May God Bless you!
Siobhan, you might never see this comment but I just wanted to say how much I love you and your channel! You’re my inspiration for going into the medical field because your videos opened my eyes to how much I truly enjoy it and want it to be my career. I’ll be starting my studies to be a radiologist this fall thanks to you!
I don't know why, but seeing you work, makes me feel like I need to do something productive and actually gets me to go study....so please keep on making videos :D
Yes! The intense clapping at the beginning and the music you always use when showing empty places makes me so excited! I've been watching your videos since you started! It's been amazing watching you grow. You inspire me to go after my dreams of being a Veterinarian! Love you girl!
These videos are great for students! To me, watching your videos are like listening to a native speaker teach a foreign language. You speak slow enough for us learners to follow, and I love that! I’m a nursing student, so even when I’m not in class, your videos help me stay on top of my learning. Thank you so much for your content 💕
I am the 5,000 viewer! Totally early .-. By the way Siobhan, there is a Snapchat show called “Four Nine Voices” and I don’t know if they asked you , but they posted a episode called “Day In The Life Of An E.R Doctor” which they showed basically your whole video. I hope you see this. Nice video as always too!
The life of a doctor was always mysterious to me and… how do y’all get your sleep on such long shifts??? Now I know! Your passion for your work and saving lives must make each day worth it, even over a long career and many years!!
Your positive attitude and kindness is inspiring! Thank you for caring about your patients and treating your fellow medical professionals with such great respect and kindness!
@biggest swiftie aww. That’s absolutely fine. Your best is what’s most important and that’s really it. I bet you are trying your hardest, and this must be hard for you. Keep pushing, and you’ll get out of this. :)
@@pikaaa7849 Keep trying your best. You've got this 💪 Try take it one week, one day or even one hour at a time. Take a few minutes aside for yourself if you ever feel too overwhelmed and just take a few deep breaths, collect yourself and remind yourself that you can do this. A lot of the time we're stronger and more capable than we think we are. Good luck 👍
I’m a nurse and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your explanations were clear and to the point, and your attitude was just so pleasant the whole time! God bless you ❤
26 hour call shifts, yes I can totally see how and why doctors make mistakes, and why medical malpractice insurance is so critical and crucial to a doctors well being.
Well patients are being brought in 24/7 so they have to be ready and alert. Thats why theyre doctors right? Their mission is to save patients and devote their life to it (idk).
@@unknownperson9543 yeah but people doing normal hours/jobs have function problems on less than the recommended hours of sleep, so how would a dr be any different? ironic that doctors tell you you need to sleep to function and be alert, when they are on call for that long with barely any sleep
@@unknownperson9543 Yes we do...Except they're not the regular 8-hour shifts, which is never done in any health-care profession. Most shifts are scheduled at 12-hour or 24-hour shifts and we usually get held over. On average we work roughly 60 hours a week. Yes, it is our job, but we do get exhausted sometimes. We are human as well.
Would we be allowed a video about you and Mark? Doesn’t need to be too much if you don’t want, I’d just love to know how you two met and a bit about the wedding, even if it’s just what the bouquet looked like! 😂 Congratulations and I really love your videos!!! ❤️
What an absolute legend. I had a heart attack awhile back , my treatment in hospital was absolutely pathetic. I was there 3 weeks, I finally lost my shit and went crazy at everyone. Next day , I got what I needed . This is what free Healthcare is like , in my country it's 100% covered. But it does mean overworked workers, it isn't right.
so i love how nurses love for patients is bcs two years ago i was 9 and my mom woke up and fell of her bed turned out she was having a stroke and she was so close to dying her lefyt everything including her brain would not work so the peramedicts took her to the hospital and she had a blood clawt in her brain so thankyou so much nurse and violin MD
Your videos have seriously motivated me to study harder. As a student, i usually forget what im working so hard for and u always remind me of that so ty!!
My husband was in that same hospital in August/September with SBP (he had cirrhosis) I actually ran into you in the cafeteria and creepily said “I watch you!” Haha. He was dying while in hospital there in the critical care unit and everyone was amazing. Thankfully he received a liver transplant September 24th and is doing amazing. We will never be able to thank his doctors and nurses enough. Thank you for what you do, from the bottom of my heart.
You’re so amazing! To be able to have such a positive attitude even though I’m sure you might be stressed at times is so great! Would definitely love to see more doctors like you! Best wishes!
Being on the construction side of hospitals, installing Med gas systems, this is very interesting to watch. I know it takes a lot of hard work on your end to do these videos but they’re very informative. Keep up the awesome work and have a wonderful 2020. Peace from California 😎
She reminds me of a PA that I got to work with for a couple years. Caring, kind, smart and just overall great person. Then she got married and her husband got transferred to another state :( You bet we cried 😢 😪😭 Siobhan looks like the type of doctor I'd love to work with!!!!!
Dear Siobhan, You have this great energy in your voice, if I ever(God Forbid) get sick or really sick, you are the kind of doctor I want to count my dear life on. great videos! I learnt so much from your informative videos. life as residency is hard, I can never imagine the kind of life you live under, but seems you are enjoying it much than ever.
Observation from a fellow Canadian. You 100% sound like the stereotypical Canadian when you said “oh yeah” when talking with the nurse at that 5:30am page where she wanted to get Tylenol for a patient. Lol love it!!
Wow you really just inspired me more in wanting to be a doctor . The passion you show , always ready to work... your just amazing honesty. Will love to be like you someday
Aaa i used to love watching these videos so much until i was applying to medical school and they gave me a lot of anxiety about my future... but last week i got into my top med school so im binge watching your videos!!
I love these videos and especially her attitude. I admire her very much! I am also a little surprised by the hospital facilities, I am a third year medical student from another country, we carry out our clinical practices in a hospital near the university, our role is above all supportive and to observe the operation of the hospital, sometimes we also do night guards. I found it very funny when I saw the pager because I thought "Oh I am the pager at the hospital" haha here the students are the ones who look for the doctors and give them the messages from other doctors (luckily it is not a very large hospital), we joke saying that we are a multipurpose tool because we also act as stretcher bearers, taking blood or urine samples and taking them to the laboratory, going to the blood bank for the packages to be transferred, changing urinary catheters, etc. If you read this and want to be a doctor, go ahead! and always remember to have a kind attitude, a teacher used to tell us "You chose to be in the hospital, patients did not" I am barely a student and until now I can say that sometimes you can end up very tired but they are unique and mostly pleasant experiences, except for that time when a bottle of urine fell on me :( haha anyway, take advantage of every moment of your life! Bye!
Your actually inspired me today, so when I grow up to get my first job I really wanna be a doctor because I realised that it helps so much for the whole world so I hope one day I can become a professional doctor!😁
I am just a premed studying for the MCAT currently (and vlogging it :)) , and I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience in residency with us as it is truly inspiring.
Thank you for your hardwork, it’s not easy to be a doctor. You have to love what you’re doing. The thought of being a doctor for me is cool and part of me wanted to be one when i was in HS but i dont think i can do it because i feel like work and stress will take over my life.
@@lil_swarlette I have been there, I work outpatient cardiology and with people have acute heart attacks in cath labs (where they go to have stents put in).. There isn't so much a "code blue" announcement over tannoid in the hospital, there's a more local alarm/tannoid system, then a call to resus/medical emergency team. :)

I don't understand how one can expect to save someone else's life, like a CODE Blue, when they are on a 26 hours shift and have very little sleep. If I ever get rush to the hospital, I hope the doctor saving me had some sleep.
Jupe367 or you can just hope you never get rushed to the hospital. Also there’s a team of doctors and nurses so it’s not like it’s just one doctor trying to figure anything out, they all have each other to lean on. And in situation like that they’re probably functioning probably quite decently due to a rush of adrenaline
There’s a collection of other staff; nurses, doctors and RTs that are also there and everyone is helping out to make sure nothing is missed. Plus the adrenaline takes over from any tiredness!
As a former RN trust me when you hear the "CODE BLUE" your brain is instantly awake. And you aren't alone. There are doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and in my hospital lab techs all involved in every code blue.
Like she said, there’s other people in the room besides her (in this case, at least 20, I think she said), so I’m sure everyone is collaborating and talking to each other about what the course of action should be.
@@mommajay9113 when someone says "trust me" I get very nervous.
That first case reminded me so much of my Dad. He died last December from end stage liver failure. He never told us he was getting sick, so by the time he went to get help, it was too late. He never had time for a transplant. Hope your patient does better. ❤️
You really motivate me to become a doctor. I'm in last year of high school and I've been going back and forth from choosing medical college or physiotherapy college. Your energy really makes me choose to go for doctor because you seem so successful, cheerful and full of life! Thank you beautiful ❤
How is it going
I know how hard it is being a doctor in Canada. I am from Brazil and I am living in Canada And I struggled a lot in the hospitals to be seen by a doctor. Seeing your video makes me realize how important your guys work is. Keep up! Don’t give up. We as a society are desperate for help. May God Bless you!
I love how she is sweet and kind. You can tell she enjoys what she’s doing ! How awesome!
Siobhan, you might never see this comment but I just wanted to say how much I love you and your channel! You’re my inspiration for going into the medical field because your videos opened my eyes to how much I truly enjoy it and want it to be my career. I’ll be starting my studies to be a radiologist this fall thanks to you!
That’s fantastic!! Congratulations Rei!!
Violin MD Thank you sooooo much!! ☺️💖
Got my coffee and Violin MD. Great start to my morning!
Aᴡᴇsᴏᴍᴇɴᴇss sameee
I don't know why, but seeing you work, makes me feel like I need to do something productive and actually gets me to go study....so please keep on making videos :D
The fact that you play violin but your also a doctor is INCREDIBLE! Mad respects go to you!
Please don’t ever lose your kindness and sparkle! It is so unbelievably refreshing. You truly are an amazing human being!💕
Yes! The intense clapping at the beginning and the music you always use when showing empty places makes me so excited! I've been watching your videos since you started! It's been amazing watching you grow. You inspire me to go after my dreams of being a Veterinarian! Love you girl!
These videos are great for students! To me, watching your videos are like listening to a native speaker teach a foreign language. You speak slow enough for us learners to follow, and I love that! I’m a nursing student, so even when I’m not in class, your videos help me stay on top of my learning. Thank you so much for your content 💕
I am the 5,000 viewer! Totally early .-.
By the way Siobhan, there is a Snapchat show called “Four Nine Voices” and I don’t know if they asked you , but they posted a episode called “Day In The Life Of An E.R Doctor” which they showed basically your whole video. I hope you see this. Nice video as always too!
I saw that to!! I screenshotted it just in case!!
@channel break its probably just really important clips from the video
She so pretty and a good attitude about everything. 🥺
The life of a doctor was always mysterious to me and… how do y’all get your sleep on such long shifts??? Now I know! Your passion for your work and saving lives must make each day worth it, even over a long career and many years!!
I love all my Saturdays, but Saturdays that include a video from Siobhan are the best!
I applaud her for being able to make and edit videos the way she does while in residency!
Your positive attitude and kindness is inspiring! Thank you for caring about your patients and treating your fellow medical professionals with such great respect and kindness!
Im a nurse but i'v got so many practical worthy procedures in this channel....im blessed thank you so much...
She’s so energetic! I wish she was my pcp :/ she’s wonderful 😊
This is the BEST Saturday EVeRrRrRr
@biggest swiftie I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you’re doing fine, and stay positive
@biggest swiftie aww. That’s absolutely fine. Your best is what’s most important and that’s really it. I bet you are trying your hardest, and this must be hard for you. Keep pushing, and you’ll get out of this. :)
@biggest swiftie haha! No problem :)
@@pikaaa7849 Keep trying your best. You've got this 💪
Try take it one week, one day or even one hour at a time. Take a few minutes aside for yourself if you ever feel too overwhelmed and just take a few deep breaths, collect yourself and remind yourself that you can do this.
A lot of the time we're stronger and more capable than we think we are. Good luck 👍
Woooooowooooooo
These videos are honestly so much more interesting than anything else on youtube
you’re so young yet so smart!! You’re the kind of doctor this world needs for sure!❤️
I’m a nurse and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your explanations were clear and to the point, and your attitude was just so pleasant the whole time! God bless you ❤
Oh my gosh! She is soooo beautiful, even after everything she was still looking epic.
PLEASEEE never stop making videos!! I’ve been watching from the beginning and love when I get the notification that you posted!
Imagine she arrives home and the camera wasnt recording
Damn 😆
That would be hell 😂
26 hour call shifts, yes I can totally see how and why doctors make mistakes, and why medical malpractice insurance is so critical and crucial to a doctors well being.
Well patients are being brought in 24/7 so they have to be ready and alert. Thats why theyre doctors right? Their mission is to save patients and devote their life to it (idk).
@@unknownperson9543 yeah but people doing normal hours/jobs have function problems on less than the recommended hours of sleep, so how would a dr be any different? ironic that doctors tell you you need to sleep to function and be alert, when they are on call for that long with barely any sleep
@@steephaniieeeee dont doctors have shifts too? If so they should be able to get enough sleep then but idk...
@@unknownperson9543 Yes we do...Except they're not the regular 8-hour shifts, which is never done in any health-care profession. Most shifts are scheduled at 12-hour or 24-hour shifts and we usually get held over. On average we work roughly 60 hours a week. Yes, it is our job, but we do get exhausted sometimes. We are human as well.
Malpractice insurance is critical to a doctor's well being?
I have so much respect for doctors, they barely get any sleep but still manage to help all their patients❤️
I love how she's so calm and happy under everything!
when she said “peracentisis” I thought she said “Paris and tea sis”
Eve Geiger ha ha. No.
You’re everything my parents ever wanted me to be. Being a doctor violinist; also known as every Asian parent’a dream.
Would we be allowed a video about you and Mark? Doesn’t need to be too much if you don’t want, I’d just love to know how you two met and a bit about the wedding, even if it’s just what the bouquet looked like! 😂 Congratulations and I really love your videos!!! ❤️
What an absolute legend. I had a heart attack awhile back , my treatment in hospital was absolutely pathetic. I was there 3 weeks, I finally lost my shit and went crazy at everyone. Next day , I got what I needed .
This is what free Healthcare is like , in my country it's 100% covered. But it does mean overworked workers, it isn't right.
so i love how nurses love for patients is bcs two years ago i was 9 and my mom woke up and fell of her bed turned out she was having a stroke and she was so close to dying her lefyt everything including her brain would not work so the peramedicts took her to the hospital and she had a blood clawt in her brain so thankyou so much nurse and violin MD
Your videos have seriously motivated me to study harder. As a student, i usually forget what im working so hard for and u always remind me of that so ty!!
You know it's a great day when you have a Violin MD video to watch
Oh God, 5 liters of fluid. I can't even imagine.
Right?! Just thinking about how uncomfortable that must have been gives me the heebies.
prettylittlegeek1 my mom usually has 12-13 liters
That's the typical volume of blood in a person's body.
@@mistieseverydaylife4705 that is just insane I thought 5 liters was a lot
Must have felt like pain and relief when draining
My husband was in that same hospital in August/September with SBP (he had cirrhosis) I actually ran into you in the cafeteria and creepily said “I watch you!” Haha. He was dying while in hospital there in the critical care unit and everyone was amazing. Thankfully he received a liver transplant September 24th and is doing amazing. We will never be able to thank his doctors and nurses enough. Thank you for what you do, from the bottom of my heart.
I didn’t mean to saying “amazing” so many times haha
We need more people like you guys who are actually determined to help others and risk their lives
You’re so amazing! To be able to have such a positive attitude even though I’m sure you might be stressed at times is so great! Would definitely love to see more doctors like you! Best wishes!
Being on the construction side of hospitals, installing Med gas systems, this is very interesting to watch. I know it takes a lot of hard work on your end to do these videos but they’re very informative. Keep up the awesome work and have a wonderful 2020.
Peace from California 😎
your positive energy and attitude is what the world needs! hope you keep making more of these videos!
She reminds me of a PA that I got to work with for a couple years. Caring, kind, smart and just overall great person. Then she got married and her husband got transferred to another state :(
You bet we cried 😢 😪😭 Siobhan looks like the type of doctor I'd love to work with!!!!!
Dear Siobhan,
You have this great energy in your voice, if I ever(God Forbid) get sick or really sick, you are the kind of doctor I want to count my dear life on. great videos! I learnt so much from your informative videos. life as residency is hard, I can never imagine the kind of life you live under, but seems you are enjoying it much than ever.
I'm gonna need you to drop your skincare routine STAT!
Stat hahaha
Observation from a fellow Canadian. You 100% sound like the stereotypical Canadian when you said “oh yeah” when talking with the nurse at that 5:30am page where she wanted to get Tylenol for a patient. Lol love it!!
it's so weird seeing someone in a hospital setting not wearing a mask.... seems like a far away dystopian land
It really does
such were the Before times, the ancient world
Wow you really just inspired me more in wanting to be a doctor . The passion you show , always ready to work... your just amazing honesty. Will love to be like you someday
U have a great personality. The pts are blessed when u see them. Can't imagine a 24hr shift. Your so kind. Love your videos!
Aaa i used to love watching these videos so much until i was applying to medical school and they gave me a lot of anxiety about my future... but last week i got into my top med school so im binge watching your videos!!
Though she doesnt get too much sleep i love her vibe!!! always so happy!
Siobhan: “I think this will really help the patient”
Me, having no medical knowledge: “yup I totally agree”
I don't know how she does it. With sleep deprivation and the responsibilities of patient care. I call her a hero.
I love these videos and especially her attitude. I admire her very much!
I am also a little surprised by the hospital facilities, I am a third year medical student from another country, we carry out our clinical practices in a hospital near the university, our role is above all supportive and to observe the operation of the hospital, sometimes we also do night guards. I found it very funny when I saw the pager because I thought "Oh I am the pager at the hospital" haha here the students are the ones who look for the doctors and give them the messages from other doctors (luckily it is not a very large hospital), we joke saying that we are a multipurpose tool because we also act as stretcher bearers, taking blood or urine samples and taking them to the laboratory, going to the blood bank for the packages to be transferred, changing urinary catheters, etc.
If you read this and want to be a doctor, go ahead! and always remember to have a kind attitude, a teacher used to tell us "You chose to be in the hospital, patients did not"
I am barely a student and until now I can say that sometimes you can end up very tired but they are unique and mostly pleasant experiences, except for that time when a bottle of urine fell on me :( haha anyway, take advantage of every moment of your life! Bye!
Best Saturday ever!! Thanks Siobhan watching this before work 😊❤️
Your actually inspired me today, so when I grow up to get my first job I really wanna be a doctor because I realised that it helps so much for the whole world so I hope one day I can become a professional doctor!😁
I am just a premed studying for the MCAT currently (and vlogging it :)) , and I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience in residency with us as it is truly inspiring.
Thank you for your hardwork, it’s not easy to be a doctor. You have to love what you’re doing. The thought of being a doctor for me is cool and part of me wanted to be one when i was in HS but i dont think i can do it because i feel like work and stress will take over my life.
Thank you so much for being so nice and caring about others! My mom works in the ER at Mercy health. She is amazing and kind
CODE BLUE is so much cooler than the NHS bleep in the UK lol
I didn't realise the NHS had a code blue equivalent. What does it sound like?
@@lil_swarlette I have been there, I work outpatient cardiology and with people have acute heart attacks in cath labs (where they go to have stents put in).. There isn't so much a "code blue" announcement over tannoid in the hospital, there's a more local alarm/tannoid system, then a call to resus/medical emergency team. :)
We don’t have that?
A code blue is also known as a code 45 in some hospitals. Mine just switched from code 45 to code blue at the beginning of january
In my hospital, the 'Code Blue' equivalent is the Bleep beeping and saying 'ADULT PRIORITY WARD 4 PLEASE RESPOND, ADULT PRIORITY PLEASE RESPOND'
these are so interesting! as a high school student that’s aspiring to be a cardiovascular surgeon, this is incredibly educational and entertaining.
shes a god and how does she stay awake i coudnt shes a freaking god!
Melissa Arcand far from a god dipshit
Oman Toodle She’s a god! A god, I say!!
@@brianne-97 i aggre
There’s only 1 god or are you a Muslim
@@omantoodle2437 no like not that type of god ones like athena and zeus shes one of those types
She is the happiest resident I have ever seen
I hope you are doing well. Praying for you and all the people in the medical field to be safe during this terrible days. God bless our world.
